About

Hey friends. I’m Carrie. I’m a born creative with a lifelong affection for the business world. The pairing of interests led me towards a career of advertising – traditional and online, followed by a founding partnership in Climb Nashville. Somewhere in the middle, I married an architect, had 4 babies, and renovated 3 homes, and stumbled into a feature in Better Homes and Gardens.

So, those are my stats. But that’s not exactly why you’re here. What you need to know about me is that I love Spaces. Ideas. Imagery. Problem-Solving. Most of all, I love People. I am passionate about helping people find creative solutions that allow them to get the most out of their lives. Because, honestly, we all just need a little help sometimes. (Can I get an “Amen”?)

Life is short and we need more. More dinners with family around the table. More hosting friends and fellow travelers in our homes. More loving those around us by sharing our lives together. Less Chaos. More Order. We all have a desire to embrace life more fully, and I think I can help you create a meaningful space to make that happen.

What are the spaces you love? How do you want to share them? Whether it’s a standout storefront or a home renovation, I’d love to talk about your next creative endeavor over a cup of coffee.
